Common mistakes to avoid
- Sessions too rigid: not all tasks fit 25 minutes. For creative work or programming, experiment with 45-50 minute sessions.
- Skipping breaks: breaks are an integral part of the technique. Skipping them reduces effectiveness and increases mental fatigue.
- Unmanaged interruptions: if you're interrupted during a pomodoro, the session is considered void. Note the interruption and restart.
- Multitasking: the Pomodoro technique works with a single task per session. Multitasking defeats the benefits of focused concentration.
